Quote from Phil
Claire: Yes, he does know the band. 'Cause this is our song. You love this song. Tell him this is our song. Right. Tell him, Phil.
Phil: It's not our song, Claire. Our song is "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
Izzy LaFontaine: Oh!
Claire: Are you sure?
Phil: Pretty sure. I sang it at our wedding.
Claire: Oh, I'm an idiot.
Izzy LaFontaine: Well, actually, he's the idiot. He fell in love to a break-up song.
Quote from Phil
Claire: I hate this. I hate this. You're so sweet and nice, and I can't even give you a decent anniversary present. I love you so much, and I feel you just are never gonna know it.
Phil: I know it. I know it. Yes.
Claire: You do know it? You do?
Phil: And this is an awesome gift. You know why?
Claire: Why?
Phil: You just gave us a new song.
Claire: Okay.
Izzy LaFontaine: Sort of brought you back together, eh? Seems.
Phil: Sort of. Yeah.
Izzy LaFontaine: Rekindled fires of a dying passion?
Phil: Sure.
Izzy LaFontaine: Shot a ray of 'ope into this gloomy suburban lie?
Phil: All right, buddy.
Claire: Just play it, lzzy.
